Groundbreaking Discovery Reveals Vast Ocean Hidden Beneath Earth’s Crust
Recent scientific discoveries reveal a vast ocean hidden beneath the Earth’s crust, potentially containing three times more water than all the oceans combined. Geophysicists have identified this reservoir within a mineral called ringwoodite, which retains water in a unique form. This groundbreaking finding could reshape our understanding of the Earth’s water cycle and geological processes, highlighting the mysteries still hidden within our planet.
Earth’s Crust Flipped Upside Down Beneath Mediterranean
Earth’s crust has flipped upside down beneath the Mediterranean as Africa and Eurasia collide, leading to rare, deep earthquakes in Spain. Geologists suggest that the capsized tectonic slab may be responsible for the seismic activity. The sinking of the Mediterranean floor beneath Europe is causing the crust to become more prone to earthquakes, as explained by a new study.
Mars May Have Experienced Precursor to Plate Tectonics, Study Suggests
Recent study suggests Mars may have experienced precursor to plate tectonics, indicated by pervasive volcanoes and distinct rock types. Researchers focused on Eridania Basins in Mars’ southern hemisphere, identifying numerous volcanic features and high felsic materials. Findings offer valuable insights into early geological processes on Mars and provide comparative perspective on planetary evolution.
